The impact of lunar topography on the 21-cm power spectrum for grid-based arrays : Insights for the Dark-ages EXplorer (DEX)
S. Ghosh, L. V. E. Koopmans, C. Brinkerink +17
The Dark Ages (DA) provides a crucial window into the physics of the infant Universe, with the 21-cm signal offering the only direct probe for mapping out the three-dimensional dis…
Improved upper limits on the 21-cm signal power spectrum at and from an optimal field observed with NenuFAR
S. Munshi, F. G. Mertens, J. K. Chege +19
We report the deepest upper limits to date on the power spectrum of the 21-cm signal during the Cosmic Dawn (redshifts: ), using four nights of observations with NenuFAR. The…
Mitigating incoherent excess variance in high-redshift 21 cm observations with multi-output cross-Gaussian process regression
S. Munshi, L. V. E. Koopmans, F. G. Mertens +8
Systematic effects that limit the achievable sensitivity of current low-frequency radio telescopes to the 21 cm signal are among the foremost challenges in observational 21 cm cosm…
Constraints on the state of the IGM at using redshifted 21-cm observations with LOFAR
R. Ghara, S. Zaroubi, B. Ciardi +21
The power spectra of the redshifted 21-cm signal from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) contain information about the ionization and thermal states of the intergalactic medium (IGM),…
First upper limits on the 21-cm signal power spectrum of neutral hydrogen at from the LOFAR 3C196 field
E. Ceccotti, A. R. Offringa, F. G. Mertens +16
The redshifted 21-cm signal of neutral hydrogen from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) can potentially be detected using low-frequency radio instruments such as the Low-Frequency Arr…
Deeper multi-redshift upper limits on the Epoch of Reionization 21-cm signal power spectrum from LOFAR between z=8.3 and z=10.1

We present new upper limits on the 21-cm signal power spectrum from the Epoch of Reionization (EoR), at redshifts , based on reprocessed obse…
Near-field imaging of local interference in radio interferometric data: Impact on the redshifted 21 cm power spectrum
S. Munshi, F. G. Mertens, L. V. E. Koopmans +24
Radio-frequency interference (RFI) is a major systematic limitation in radio astronomy, particularly for science cases requiring high sensitivity, such as 21 cm cosmology. Traditio…
